Insurance marketing techniques as well as insurance market solutions is a very big subject today. Especially in an economy like today.
Because Insurance agents are scrambling to keep their agency afloat. And insurance agents are willing to do just about anything to survive. But, although the old insurance marketing techniques like its Just a matter of calling on enough people used to work, but that was a looong time ago. And those insurance marketing techniques simply do not work like that anymore. Yet, today, too many insurance agents are still using this old insurance marketing for several reasons.
First, you know the saying if you are good with a hammer everything looks like a nail.
And the second reason is perseverance is one of the most admirable traits in all endeavors. Think about it.
We love to watch the Olympic athletes push themselves to - and then beyond The Limit. And Mother Nature provides some of the most astonishing feats of perseverance for example when you think of the salmon fighting upstream or even up water falls.
Insurance Marketing Tip Discovered While Watching A Fly?
Yet, at what point is it that the perception or guise of perseverance become out right foolishness? At what point should insurance agents realize old insurance marketing advice and marketing techniques don not work in a new agency economy? Maybe agents should take a valuable marketing lesson from a fly. Here is what I mean.
We have all witnessed what I will call The Death Fight of The Fly This is when the fly is fooled by the perception that a glass window is not really there. So the fly demonstrates incredible perseverance and repeatedly, incessantly, persistently, almost loyally, hurls itself again and again up against the window PAIN (spelling selected on purpose) and often until it is exhausted and dies of fatigue.
FACT: No matter how valiant the effort made by the fly the bottom line is the barrier is not going to yield. EVER.
Often, observation of this ritual makes you think the fly is just not that bright. Right?
Be careful.Here is why I say that.
After more than 20 years in this great industry I have witnessed a very similar death flight by many agents who persevere and persistently continue to attempt to do the same marketing and getting insurance leads that used to work and despite the obvious fact it no longer works, Yet most insurance agents seem to prefer to continue to hit their heads against the window PAIN as if never knowing that regardless of the efforts made they will never make it through the barrier.
Most insurance agents are getting caught up in the business of BUSYness and would rather point the finger at the outside forces they can not control and blame others instead of evolving and adapting to the new insurance world that we live in.
Tough words? Yes, but we operate in tough times. I'm not giving you hell. I am simply giving you the truth. It is just that sometimes the truth feels like hell.
Think about this. The old insurance marketing techniques worked only because back then the average person was not getting bombarded by over 3,000 marketing messages per day! Now that is a lot of clutter!
If you want insurance marketing techniques and advice that works today you must have a systematic manner of breaking through the clutter because the clutter is a real barrier and the absolute best and proven way to break the insurance marketing clutter of today is with MULTIPLE INFLUENCE CHANNELS(tm) (MIC) and not just the typical one strategy approach and continually hitting your head up against the window pane just like a fly.
Using Multiple Influence Channels(tm) or MIC amplifies your insurance marketing messages over and above the competition. There are several proven marketing principles involved when using MIC, but one quick one is to use several ways to communicate with the prospect as well as allowing them several modes to communicate with you.
A marketing drill for you to do.
Think about how you are currently trying to break through the clutter to get to your targeted audience and ask yourself. Am I doing exactly what everybody else is doing and if so why would my prospect want me over any other choice? And then ask yourself, what other new insurance marketing techniques can I develop and implement to break through and get my marketing message to my insurance prospects?
Warning. Do not be different for the sake of being different, but be different with the purpose of adding value to your prospects.
I hope you have found this information useful and thought provoking and more importantly I hope it sparks you into accurate actions.

Shocking News! These Insurance Marketing Techniques Simply Don't Work Anymore?
2008/09/07
The Shocking Truth About Money and Banks!
If I were to lend you 100 pounds, I would take the physical money out of my pocket, or the bank. I might even write you a cheque. The key point though, is that I would have had 100 pounds, then, when I lent it to you, I wouldn't have it any more. If I lend you a hammer, I would first have to have a hammer, then I could give it to you and you could use it.
So, it would make sense then that when a bank lends you some money that it takes money that it has in it's vaults (or at least on it's books as most money doesn't now actually exist in physical form, It is just numbers in a computer.) and hands it over to you. To compare it to the example of me lending you 100 pounds, the bank would first have had 100 pounds with which it could do as it liked. Then, it would give that money to you and so, wouldn't have it any more. The bank would be 'missing' that 100 pounds until you paid it back.
Obviously, that is the only way it could work and it is the way that it must work. WRONG! That is the only fair way that the system could work. If someone is going to lend you something, they must have that thing first. The Government creates money, the banks have large supplies of it because people deposit their money with them and the bank then loans it to you in order to charge interest. This is the way that most of us have assumed that it works and we have never been taught otherwise.
The truth is far more shocking and is actually so unbelievable that I don't expect you to take my word for it. I am going to provide you with links to more information so that you can learn more and prove to yourself that this is how it works.
When a bank lends you money, it creates that money out of thin air! Yes, you read that correctly. Before you ask to borrow some money, that money doesn't exist. When the bank agrees to your loan, it simply conjures it into existence and gives it to you. The bank hasn't built, grown or created anything of value but it still gets to charge you interest on that money that it simply created.
This system is almost exactly the opposite of how you would think it should work. When the money is loaned out, it is created and when it is paid back, it ceases to exist as it is written off the bank's balance sheet. The bank gets to keep the interest on the money that it made up though! This poses a big problem for everyone because if all the money is created like this (which it is) then where does the money to pay the interest come from. Have you ever wondered why we have inflation?
I could keep going all day with this but there is a great video that explains all this and what you can do about it. There are also links to find out more from independent sources and to see evidence if you still don't believe.

Financial Inequalities - Is it All Your Fault?
The goal of every financial manger is to create value to the providers of finance. Value is represented by the general well-off of an individual which, in turn, is a function of the individuals' Investment, Financing and Personal reward decisions taken. What is your goal? Are you creating value for your provider if finance (you)? Many people always look for what I call "the whooping object" to lay all their financial blames on. They think it is the responsibility of the government or the company they work for to take care of their finances. I am here today to tell you that the financial imbalances/inequalities you are experiencing is all your fault.
Below are some of the reasons you are struggling financially and tips on how to overcome them.
(1) Breaking of natural Law: Investment is one natural law that is so powerful that God Himself could not ignore it. Oh come on; He invested His breath in you before you came into existence. You see, you cannot expect result when you have not made any form of investment. As important as this is, many people especially those that has phobia for figures. Accounting or some figure crunching discipline has nothing to do with your investment decision. You have to first of all make up your mind to invest then look for an investment analyst to do the investment appraisal for you. In our world of today, you don't need to know anything about anything before you can get the benefits that accrues to it. Simply look for a person that has the expertise and you are there. Again, the most important thing is to have a strong desire to do whatever you want to do in the first place. Do you want a fulfilled and bright tomorrow, then make INVESTMENT TODAY, CALL that financial/investment analyst that live on your street today.
(2) Cheap advice: Talk is cheap but only on casual basis; quality talk is not cheap nor free, in fact, there must be a price attached to it. can you take legal advice from someone with Engineering background and into some legal problems? If no is your answer, how then do you take financial advice from people who are not experts in regard. Formal training in any TECHNICAL and SPECIALISED area cannot be substituted with intuition or hunch. This is one of the reasons that people who are supposed to be doing well financially always struggle to make ends meet. Listening to quarks on financial (or any specialised) matters is like letting a blind man lead you when you have problem with your sight. Check out all the successful people in our society, you will discover they all have one thing in common; they hire the best financial expert they can lay their hands on (they also do same on all other facets of life, but our focus here is on finance)
(3) Unnecessary Delay in taking action:This can kill even the soundest idea. In fact, this is another reason why many people go unfulfilled in life when they would have been better-off if they had taken action. For instance, Many people postpone the date to start saving and investing to the extent that they eventually don't do anything about it. That will perfectly introduce us to the next reason why their is so much financial inequalities in our society.
(4) Lack of saving culture: I know you will be wondering why i have left out this point till now, well, the answer is simply that "good financial advice from your financial analyst will guide you through fund raising even when you don't have. Yes! you heard me right, "as important as saving culture is, one can still invest in sand project without having to save a dime towards the project".
In conclusion, investment based on good financial advice will surely kick out financial inequalities our society.
